The nitrogen and phosphorus co‐doped graphene‐like carbon (NPG) is cost‐effective fabricated by simple ball‐milling and thermal treatment. The as‐prepared NPG can be used as a metal‐free catalyst for selective catalytic oxidation of aromatic alcohols to their corresponding acids by using TBHP and O 2 as the oxidant in water. It is observed that various aromatic alcohols bearing electron‐donating/withdrawing groups can be oxidized to the corresponding acids in excellent yields. No dehalogenation and steric‐hindrance effects are detected in this oxidation process. In addition, the NPG catalyst can be easily separated and efficiently reused seven times, showing good recyclability.
